Hello All,

I am a noob. I have an 07 Type S and noticed that the only two lights not working in the console are the fan speed up and down lights. Does anyone know if this would be fuse issue and what no's to check in the fuse box? Appreciate some help folks. Thanks.

 

no, its not a fuse. the bulb burnt out.
you'll need to replace it, if you want it to be lit up again

 

Thanks justnspace, Can you please advise as to what is the cost for something like this? Just want to get an idea so I don't get ripped off by a dealer or something. Thanks.

 

to buy the bulbs from the dealer, it will be pretty expensive for one. i think like 5-10 dollars just for 1. dont quote me.
we, on acurazine, have instead bought LED bulbs.
they're cheaper for a whole bunch.

and if you're going to get it done at the dealer, I expect them to charge you an ungodly amount of money for labor.
for 2 of those bulbs to be replaced, you're probably looking at 100 something dollars.
That's just too much for me.

it would be a better idea, to either do it yourself...
or just wait till the rest of the bulbs go out.

 

I actually called Acura Dealership and this guy said they can't just replace bulbs. They will have to replace the whole nav unit quoting me about $1000.

 

^thats a stupid dealership. the bulbs are replaced by taking out the nav unit and unscrewing the bulbs from behind

 

^they're trying to get you for $1000.

 

The dealership closest to me is pretty stupid too...except all I wanted were the codes for the nav, which I was later able to get myself. He said in order to do it, they have to pull out the whole nav unit, which would cost me a bunch of money, for something they should just be looking up on a computer. I never went back to that dealer except to pick up parts I ordered online, because they clearly don't know what they're doing.

 

That's messed up. I was able to get my Nav / Radio codes from the dealership i originally bought the car. Seems like these people are stupid. I will try and contact some other dealership and ask em.

THANK YOU GUYS

 

The dealerships aren't stupid, they're expecting you to be stupid to make money off you

 

True that. Well put, I just called another dealership and they guy said totally doable. The bulb is about 9 bucks and about an hour job so about 125 to replace it.

 

i was totally guessing on pricing!
i surprised myself that i was pretty close to the price!

glad that you found a dealership that will do it for you

 

This is for up and down tl type s red. http://www.oemacuraparts.com/oem-par...ma/39057sepa61

 

So get 2 that's all you will need. And go to work take your navi out and replace it your self is ease.
